The Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN) announced that its youth-focused film initiative, Tú Cuentas Cine Youth Fest (TCCYF), has secured four wins at the 32nd Annual Communicator Awards. The awards, presented by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts, recognize excellence in marketing, communications, and creative media. This year's competition drew over 3,000 entries from agencies, production companies, universities, and global brands.
The winning productions include the interview series 2025 Tú Cuentas Cafecito con Ingrid ‘Superstar’ Salcedo, which earned an Award of Excellence in the General-Interview or Talk Show category and an Award of Distinction in the General-Motivational category. Another production, 2025 Tú Cuentas Cafecito con Roselyn Sanchez, received an Award of Distinction in the General-Interview or Talk Show category. Additionally, The Power of Voice: The Art of Dubbing for Film and TV earned an Award of Excellence in the General-Motivational category.
These accolades underscore the growing cultural reach of TCCYF, which aims to provide emerging Latino filmmakers and storytellers with greater visibility through screenings, workshops, and original digital content. In a congratulatory letter to Cynthia Rivera, TCCYF co-director, Josh Campbell, general manager of the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts, praised the work: “Your work cut through the noise, connected with audiences and delivered real results. That is what Well Said work looks like, and we are honored to recognize it!”
The winners were selected by a jury of more than 1,100 industry professionals from organizations including Netflix, National Geographic Society, FedEx, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. HITN's Tú Cuentas initiative has increasingly focused on creating a platform for young Hispanic creatives at a time when representation in mainstream entertainment remains a central issue. Festival organizers said the recognition reflects both the quality of the productions and the importance of creating spaces where Hispanic youth can develop and share their stories with broader audiences, aligning with HITN's mission to educate and entertain.
